Quizzes and riddles for toddlers and kids. Perfect for early learning! (1–10)
Animal Quiz
Let’s have fun with an “Animal Quiz” featuring animals everyone loves! If you’re making original questions, kids might get bored with just words, so it’s better to include lots of illustrations and photos.
It’s easier to create questions if you decide on a theme.
For example, a “Animal Tails Quiz” where you only show the tail, or an “Animal Silhouette Quiz” where kids guess the animal from a shadow-like silhouette.
If you have a smartphone or tablet, you could even make an “Animal Sounds Quiz.” Create a fun quiz that stimulates children’s senses!
Sea Creatures Quiz
According to one theory, 99.9 percent of living creatures live in water.
They say there are still many sea creatures that haven’t been discovered yet! Quiz videos about marine life are also uploaded on video sites, so be sure to check them out for reference.
If you’re making your own, how about a “Fish or Not a Fish” quiz? You look at a photo and guess whether it’s a fish or not.
The key is to include borderline cases like Pacific saury, whales, sharks, medaka, and dolphins.
Another idea is a “What is this?” quiz where you reveal parts of a photo little by little.
It could be even more fun if you mix in non-fish creatures like sea anemones and sea urchins as questions!
Vegetable Quiz
This is a colorful and appetizing vegetable quiz where you guess the names of vegetables.
From kid-favorite veggies like corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and pumpkins to a wide variety with different colors and shapes—such as bell peppers, cucumbers, asparagus, lotus root, carrots, and onions—many vegetables make an appearance.
It’s a fun way to learn and is sure to help reduce children’s dislike of vegetables just a little.
It might even support food education!

Fruit Quiz
If you’re getting bored with the quizzes on video sites, creating your own questions can be fun.
The fruits kids know might actually be fewer than you think.
With a “Do you know this?” quiz, try introducing fruits that aren’t so familiar to them—like papaya, longan, or sugar apple—in a quiz format.
Just asking “What do you think this fruit is called?” will get kids super excited.
To make it feel like an event, it’s also a great idea to prepare fruits they don’t usually see, such as starfruit or durian.
Kids will be fascinated by fruits they’ve never even touched.
Rather than simply asking quiz questions, if you frame it as “learning more about fruits,” they may naturally pick up new knowledge.
Inspiration Quiz
This is a quiz that tests your instant flash of insight! From symbols, illustrations, or words that seem meaningless at first glance, you find commonalities or patterns to arrive at the answer.
To solve these “inspiration quizzes,” general knowledge is all you need.
Adults, with their wealth of information, often rely on facts and logic rather than flashes of insight, which can actually make the puzzles harder for them to solve.
In that sense, children—who tend to make intuitive judgments—may have the advantage.
It’s a fun quiz that trains kids’ quick, spontaneous thinking!
Intro Quiz (Classic TV Anime)
The hugely popular show “Quiz Doremifadon!” aired for many years starting in 1976.
While the hosts and production style have changed, the show’s signature “intro quiz” has been carried on through the Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa eras.
Nowadays it’s not unusual for hit anime to feature theme songs by popular artists, and many smash hits actually originate from anime-related tracks.
How about enjoying an intro quiz using only anime songs? Kids might keep nailing songs that adults don’t even know.
If you have a large projector, it could be a great party activity too!
Junior Arithmetic Olympiad Quiz
The Math Olympic is held every year for children who love arithmetic.
To make it to the finals, participants must achieve a passing score in the regional trial.
What we present here are past questions from the Math Olympic trial.
Although it’s called math, these aren’t simple calculation problems like addition or subtraction.
Instead, they test your ability to read the problem carefully, think logically, and derive an answer.
So even children who feel weak at calculations can enjoy engaging with math through these quizzes.
